Has anyone had any luck losing weight while on Seroquel

[mycosmicmuffin19]

I'm weaning my dosage down from 300 mg to 50 mg, because the seroquel keeps me craving carbs like there's not tomorrow. So 40 pounds heavier, I've got to get rid of some of this. I do light exercises and work in my garden, but I haven't lost an ounce in 2 years. Any advice? It seems like if I had the strength to get off the carbs I do go through withdrawal.

I went from 230 to 160 while I was taking 900mg of seroquel. I did it by following a healthy diet my doctor told me about. Basically no white flour, no refined sugar, and very little saturated fat. I am a bit obsessive so it was easy for me to eat basically nothing but fruit, vegetable, chicken breast, and oatmeal. I started running when I got some of the weight off but my shins got damaged from the impact so I quit.

I ended up gaining back all the weight and more when I went back to eating junk. I have lost 40 pounds in the last 4 months, but that is not the healthy way.

All I can say is don't go on a diet, change the way you live for good. That is the only way to take it off and keep it off.
